94; Invalid use of Nulls Error

I am trying to load a field with data from an MS Access DB and I keep getting this error. How can I avoid this?

Thanks,
Jeff

Use :

VB Code:

[i]RecordsetName[/i]![i]FieldName[/i] & ""

And it will just use an empty string

:)

I tried that and it's still giving me that error. Here is my code:

If tblEmployees!emp_Name = Null Then
cmbName.Text = tblEmployees!emp_Name & ""
Else
cmbName.Text = tblEmployees!emp_Name
End If

If tblEmployees!emp_dept = Null Then
cmbDept.Text = tblEmployees!emp_dept & ""
Else
cmbDept.Text = tblEmployees!emp_dept
End If

If tblEmployees!emp_permissions = Null Then
cmbPermissions.Text = tblEmployees!emp_permissions & ""
Else
cmbPermissions.Text = tblEmployees!emp_permissions

#1 - To check for Null, you use the IsNull() function.

#2 - If you append "" to the end, you don't need to check if it is Null, it will work regardless.

Thanks, that worked!
